Accumulation and distribution of microplastics in coastal sediments from the inner Oslofjord, Norway
Bronzo, Laura; Lusher, Amy L.; Schøyen, Merete; Morigi, Caterina (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Microplastic presence in benthic marine systems is a widely discussed topic. The influence of the natural matrix on microplastic distribution within the sedimentary matrix is often overlooked. Marine sediments from the ... -
Mapping microplastics in sludge
Lusher, Amy L.; Hurley, Rachel; Vogelsang, Christian; Nizzetto, Luca; Olsen, Marianne (NIVA-rapport;7215, Research report, 2017)The main objective of this project was to characterize microplastics in sewage sludge from Norwegian domestic wastewater treatment plants applying different wastewater and sludge treatment technologies. WWTPs were selected ... -
Microplastic variability in subsurface water from the Arctic to Antarctica
Pakhomova, Svetlana; Berezina, Anfisa; Lusher, Amy L.; Zhdanov, Igor; Silvestrova, Ksenia; Zavialov, Peter; van Bavel, Bert; Yakushev, Evgeniy (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Comparative investigations of microplastic (MP) occurrence in the global ocean are often hampered by the application of different methods. In this study, the same sampling and analytical approach was applied during five ... -
Microplastics in road dust – characteristics, pathways and measures
Vogelsang, Christian; Lusher, Amy L.; Dadkhah, Mona E.; Sundvor, Ingrid; Umar, Muhammad; Ranneklev, Sissel B.; Eidsvoll, David; Meland, Sondre (NIVA-rapport;7526, Research report, 2020)The expected main contributors to road dust-associated microplastic particles (RAMP) are rubber compounds in tyre treads, polymers used to strengthen the bitumen used in road pavement and thermoplastic elastomers used in ... -
A review of the use of microplastics in reconstructing dated sedimentary archives
Martin, Jake; Lusher, Amy L.; Nixon, Francis Chantel (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Buried microplastics (plastics, <5 mm) have been documented within the sediment column of both marine and lacustrine environments. However, the number of peer-review studies published on the subject remains limited and ... -
Understanding the occurrence and fate of microplastics in coastal Arctic ecosystems: The case of surface waters, sediments and walrus (Odobenus rosmarus)
Carlsson, Pernilla; Singdahl-Larsen, Cecilie; Lusher, Amy L. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The Arctic ecosystem receives contaminants transported through complex environmental pathways – such as atmospheric, riverine and oceanographic transport, as well as local infrastructure. A holistic approach is required ...
